My Christen Eagle II has had an issue with run ups. When idling the engine runs fine but when I run up prior to take off, the engine sputters and pops. I lean the mixture until I get a rise on the tach and let it clear up.
This evening, I decided to swap out the old Champions for Tempest plugs. The last plug I pulled was the top, front left hand plug and it was my only plug that was oily. My guess, this plug is dead until the oil or wetness burns off. But, I never had a bad mag check or cylinder miss. I may need to also check the ignition leads.
Any opinions?
Thanks
Phil
